RHODODENDRONS 
ROSEBAY RHODODENDRON 
(Rhododendron maximum) 
Tall, fast growing, very hardy, reaches 
8-10 feet. Blooms in late June, light 
rose or purplish pink. Needs semi-shade 
and moist well-drained acid soil. Valu- 
able where other rhododendrons are not 
hardy, or as a background for smaller 
rhododendrons, azaleas, etc.

3 for $2.25; 10 for $7.00 
RHODODENDRON HYBRIDS 
Grown from the seed of various named 
hybrid rhododendrons, these broadleaf 
aristocrats will vary in maturity size 
from about 4 to 8 feet and colors will 
range from white through pink and lav- 
ender to purple and red. Acid soil, sun 
or part shade. Perhaps some of these 
will be even more beautiful than the 
original named varieties. Grown from 
mixed seed, colors unknown.

little earlier, about mid-May here, shades 
of pink and red. Profuse flower pro- 
duction, hardy to at least 15° below zero. 
Requires partial shade for best results 
because bright sun sometimes fades the 
flowers. Grown from mixed seed, colors 
unknown.

AZALEA AMOENA COCCINEA 
A very good form of Azalea obtusum. 
Dense twiggy growth, small shiny leaves, 
fiery rose red flowers in May. A highly 
pleasing plant from all standpoints. 
Lends itself to trimming (after blooming) 
and can be retained as a very small 
specimen if desired. 
2 yr. TT 5-8” very bushy, 85c each; 
3 for $2.40; 10 for $7.50 
MOUNTAIN LAUREL 
(Kalmia latifolia) 
An evergreen of the Rhododendron type, 
long glossy leaves, large clusters of 
white or blush-pink flowers in June.

semi-shade (too much shade reduces 
flowering). Normal size in this area 6-8 
feet, reasonably larger in mild moist 
climates. 
2 yr. TT 4-6” 50c each; 5 for $2.15; 
10 for $3.75
